The days when a stereo was an option on a Mercedes-Benz are a distant memory. Now even the most basic C-Class is well equipped. What's more, the latest model is sharply styled and has a depth of quality that was missing from its predecessor. Drivers can now look forward to an executive car feel behind the wheel. The range of engines and trims is vast, with something for everyone, ranging from the economical C 220 CDI diesel to the outrageously quick C 63 AMG, which has a powerful V8 engine squeezed under the bonnet.

I still have it. 310.000km and going without any major problems. Hope it will serve me good until 600.000km - need to go to the Moon and back :-)
Finally I can afford it 😮💨
I took more than ten years 😕
This w204 is still my favourite C class model.
Same here
Yeah especially but for me the facelift is a bit better
I own a W204 C CLASS
I've got a 2012 has it got a different engine just it's a bit faster according to parkers 0-60 7.8 seconds
@@thomasmcmeekin5515 faster? this one from the video does 0-60 in 7.3
2019 and it’s still a good car
yep, I've had mine 10 years and hope to keep it for another 10.
Yes it is, I have a C280 RWD only with 7G-tronic and I love it......
I have the face-lifted estate version. I love it.
Agreed. C200 CDI Elegance with Comfort and Sport modes. Sadly they ceased this wonderful compromise model with the best of both worlds. Only gripe, the MB leather, which doesn't last well. Hopefully I can source a new drivers seat bottom panel to replace it. As 76k it's getting more efficient on fuel. MB maintained so bills match the list price. The loan cars, A, B, and C just haven't matched its solidity or finish. No reason to change what was perfected to escape the previous batch of poorly made C classes.
i know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me
I have owned mine for over 10 years now! I think it looks a lot better than the newer mercs.
Is the 272m25 engine reliable?
Loved my W204..... 10 years old when I sold it... looked like new.
I own a 2010 C Class and its very good and nice to drive. it's reliable and has got good build quality. I love my C Class to give it away so I'm keeping it forever. 😃😃😁😁
Armaan Ahmed how many miles can you get out of a full tank
u still have it?
C200 CDI returns high 45mpg+ and when at 80mph can return 50mpg+. Oddly it's return improves with the mileage on it. MB explain this as the taxi design where higher mileage cars give better returns, which makes sense in Germany.
What engine?
Matt didn't change over all these years
fr,but look at his hands they were bigger don’t u think?
he kinda did hes super annoying now
i own this ... the sport version. Once you have driven this, you will love to drive it again and again. The sport one is less quite than the normal C-class. The steering is a bit heavy but responsive. Greattt power. easily reach 140km without any sense of unsteadiness ... the suspension is a but hard probably bec of its sport feature.
2024 and it's still good car
2023 and it’s still amazing
am i the only one who looked at this and was like "wait.. isnt that mat wattson from carwow??"
i still drive the c220 cdi 2009 in Australia it still drives like a brand new one, 220 thousand km on the clock!! No annoying sound after 15 years in the cockpit area. as usual in other cars is common thinks!!, the seats are still firm as new,i drive pretty aggressively, and in the city after 15 y still car used 7l-7.3L/100km & highways 5.7l-6l/100km.STILL, THE REAR DRIVE KICK OF POWER MAKES ME EXCITED!!
Hei, I will like to make enquirer on how much kilometers can I drive on the engine MB CDI 2.1 07 model and am currently on 340,000km with a good year service and and all inspections are intact ???
burimi89 thanks for the comment. I though the same thing but also thought that I might be wrong about my 2000 C280 Sport which was the last Mercedes I'd put my hard-earned money into until I drove a 2011 C300 which felt like the Mercedes I loved before the 2001s came out. All Mercs lost the "solid as a rock" feeling at around that time but it seems it's comig back. Glad to see it happening as I'll be ready for another car in 10-15 years :)
Surely better than a beemer. And whats wrong with the foot operated parking brake?? Its classic for a merc and merc owners love tradition. I love my c class
indeed its weird talking about that parking brake... all merc have that and merc owners are all familiar with it. I love my c class too
I have one but I prefer my 2002 rav4
What if you are a weak person or a woman who cannot pull handbrake. But even a weak person can use foot-handbrake, you have more power in legs. And if you have 7G-tronic, you have Park position nad you dont even have to use it, except steep hills...
Rarely use the foot brake. The auto box P suffices. On an incline I put in on as insurance. Then the dashboard light up red and bings when I forget to release it.
Thats not how you spell bimmer...
Foot parking brake is actually good idea becouse leg is stronger than hand so its easier to do it. And as he say, automatic is awesome, I love my C280 :)
Damn, I keep coming to this video, I love the C Class...such a pity it gets so expensive, even a 2009-2010 costs as much as "the others" from more recent years...someday!!
my biggest gripe is that the back seat does not fold down for additional storage, crazy that they did not do this back in 2007
Wow carbuyer has come a long way...
best reviews on the internet!
and what's wrong with the foot parking brake? i actually like that a lot
Brian Lugogo its just uncommon in sedans
me too!
You dont even need it, if you have 7G tronic .... P works same ....
30-38k in the US. Roughly less than most minivans (MPVs in British vernacular) in the US and Canada.
I was not expecting to see matt reviewing this 😄
Now in carwow
Cool thanks for the info mate it is very good!!!
is that matt watson
is the mercedes c class 2007 so good and refine , so u review it in 2010
must be a good car though
One of the most beautiful cars
we love the footbrake!! and keep it up mercedes!!
Its there, becouse if you have Automatic, which you should have, you dont ever use it :D
the c class interior is everything what mercedes is about understated luxury and simple elegant design coupled top notch build quality. The foot operated parking brake is a Mercedes quirk , all mercedes have always used pedal parking brakes for some reason.
awesome car awesome review
bare in mind that the C class also holds their value well.
Mat Watson?
which name brand tyres do you recommend for this model? because my current ones are dunlop and they make the car slip on the roads... or is this normal thing maybe?
Ozi Oz continental? Michellin, kenda, bridgestone.
Why my c class 2009 is losing water and what is the cause of engine vibration while stationary as well as not changing gear smoothly while driving ? Could it be the faulty spark plug or gearbox issue?
Please advise.
By the way, I took it to a garage that costed £350, for engine coolant, still Loses water.
occrugs check engine mounts. Check thermostat and hoses for leaks.
my danm dream car
+asser lidiman you can buy mine if you want :p
+Doa744 how much 🐯🐯🐯
the tune seems very emotional
I bought this car this year 😍😍😍 c300 2010 AMG
what he is saying about the break ??? i'm french !!
What is the soundtrack may i ask?
Cool so there are no down sides???
Hmm im thinking about buying a 2002 c class.. are those any good..?
i am leasing one, there's some brilliant deals at the moment cause there's excess stock
@cm18cam What do you mean you can't stand the interior of Mercedes C class? do you mean it in a bad or good way?
@lovethecity123 yes, my cousins friend has one and with the wood grain it looks great, but in my opinion the aluminim trim doesn't look very classy
In black, I think this one is nicer than the current one.
Thought it was carwow for a second. Thats a short review. Footbrake is definitely diffrent not sure how well it works on hill start manovers but at least its not electronic that could go wrong. Had a wierd slope down floor aswell feom frint seats to pedals. I forgot to find out wether the back seats fold down or not.
Love this Car
hello Carbuyer!can you help me please: who mercedes you think is better .C200 AMG KOMPRESSOR OR C200 CGI? ...BOTH ARE 184 HP.
I wish you bought "kompressor".
Would you consider a c300 4matic Luxury (in the US) over an Audi A3?
They are not in the same class lol
Much nicer than the new model
Cull678 maybe the rear but the front looks better
Whats the problem with putting your legs a little bit stretched. I dont see any problems with that. And the foot operated handbrake is an reserved mark for Mercedes!
How should I get to know the price
well, I dont really notice anything wrong with mine. So i guess it is really a minor thing. it is a bit heavy though probably because of the type of tires I am using - big and wide. So prob not the fault with the steering then . FYI, i am using the auto one. I have not driven BMW yet, so I cant compare my Merc and a BMW, but so far, I love driving a Merc. Fun and not tiring ...
Anyone noticed that this looks just like an SE but has the Sport grill?
Getting a 320cdi avantgarde with amg pack and manual next week. Cant wait, coming from an older saab.
i have a c320cdi v6 with automatic 7 speed and they are quite nice and i love them
my father made a similar jump 9 or so years ago, from a 2007 saab 9-5 wagon to a 2012 c-class wagon. no longer has it though
Wow Mat has really changed
what's price for 20p7
this song is called Mc Livinho - Minha Rola Vai Em Você
and has clip
Kkkkkk caraleooo
kkkkkk
@cm18cam WHY ? It has a very beautiful interior !
Do all models come with the LCD screen?
yea kinda some dont flip up the cover goes up to reveal it looks the same anyway
Ok thanks for the info!!! Is the steering wheel a bit to the left or is it central?
That geezer says the same thing about most cars. I've had mine 10 years and I have never noticed the steering wheel a bit to the left at all. Wot a gooof.
What kind of radiodisplay is this?
Wow... why hate & take the time to respond so negatively? Life can be great without a Mercedes or without a car at all. Live life to the fullest no matter what :-)
This video is nostalgia
how to open the bonnet..i just bought year 2008 last week..
koimi
Right side of the driver, down just above the hand break( in c class case , your hand break is actually foot operated) even in this clip where it showed the foot operated hand break. In another word, bend yourself a little down forward.
A mechanical handbrake is less to wrong
Why did you review the c class when you allready reviewd the white one
I bought this car just to enjoy the timeless design.. love the body line.. so sexy 😍
Ok, well thanks a lot for all the info you have given me, It is really interesting to get info from someone who has one!!! Have a good day:)
its so similar to Kompressor..
or is it the kompressor in a new model?
Kompressor is engine air supercharger.
Petrol Mb 4cylinders ( maybe some 6-8cylinders too) used Supercharger-Compressor and no direct injection to 2010. "Kompressor" petrol models.
Since 2010 mb use Turbocharger and direct injection - "CGI" petrol models .
1.Turbocharger and direct injectors are not so durable.
2. Direct injection - much more carbonised engine.
"Kompressor" engines are much more durable with less problems like "CGI".
I'm watching in 2020😅😅😅😅😅
The interior was designe by Johnson Controls to be cheap, but they're redesigning it for 2011
@cm18cam i think they were trying to appeal to the old fans and hopefully new and younger fans.....
Just bought one of these second hand from a dealership with 120,000 miles, full gear box needed 🙈
Lovely car, although once when we drove round the round about at an average speed, for some reason the back wheels skidded, although I like it compared to its rivals! :D
probably baldy tires
the back wheels only skid if you have an auto in S mode and you are heavy footed moving off......in wet or icy conditions it should be driven in C mode........of course if wheels do spin then stability control kicks in so its safe.......all rwd cars have wheel spin in wet if youve a heavy foot on accelerator .
@@geoffdundee traction control on the w204 is quite lazy, kicks in after you've stirred a cloud of dust.
Going to get this as my second car
I have this as my second car. Only thing wrong with it so far - the washer liquid leaks. Great car!
@jexicon You're using the IKEA as what? Because that's a great furniture.
The petrol version absolutely faultless. Diesel version sounds like a tractor. Glad I bought the petrol. Its just run and run. Worth every penny in my opinion.
one word, M five is two words! Also a slight price difference too!!!
Cool, I am glad you have a car you like!!! Do you have a Manual or Auto???
i love that car it the car of my dreams to bad it will be old by the time i get my drivers license
You need bigger dreams..
Lee-harry C i have bigger dream dood. i just want this car. jesus, if everyone could stop making a big deal when someone comments something
Petrov Bullafarht In 3 or 4 years you will look back and say "what an ugly car". You get used to the looks real fast and once the new model is out you will like that one better. Just take a look at the latest c-claas w205 and you will see that it´s much nicer.
Ermo77 no i wont. now i look back and the old monedoe and i love it. its much bettter than the new one.
+Ermo77 i have this car and i gotta tell you, i still think its 10x better looking than then newsest models. just my 2 cents :p
Hehehe the pants Matt the Pants😂😂
does that model you reviewed have leather seats?
Matt from Carwow
Best in class.
I really like how you can hide the display screen, something all other cars should be able to do. A big annoying screen interrupts the dash and makes a car feel more like a laptop appliance than a car.
My next car 🚗 blue efficiency version 😋
I'd love to buy a C-Class. I test drove one a few months ago...but, they're everywhere around here now..Dammit
Not anymore mate! You should get one :)
Hey i have a quick question. Im 19 and im buying a used car, the question is: is a golf 6 better than this c class?
Cacoetion no
is this or the 3 series more reliable?
John Prichy this
they can be about the same, but i would say when W204 problem comes, you will have time to get to the shop(beside the key issue...), where when issues like water pump and HPFP happens on a E90, you are very likely to have to have your car towed to the shop.
This.
I think Matt was promoting BMW during these years😂
He said you are buying "Mercedes", you deserve the electronic one
panamera has a nice key too.
@gandalfwiz20007 yea but the s8 is in another car class try whit the merc s class istead
You are definitely right, that is a very posh key fob! Walk in with that to a pub, and your 'night' is set...
how annoying or discomforting is the offset steering wheel?
+kinggamer Blend I've had the 2008 Elegance model for 6 months and never noticed it or even thought about it, it feels fine to me, if you want to know any more just ask!
Dominic Clifton thanks man, im looking for one with 6 speed manual and with the diesel engine but i want something less powerfull, is the c200 cdi with 136 ks lowest on power of the range?
I think he needs to get his eyes tested because I've had mine 10 years and I've never noticed!
ive owned one of these but the steering wheel has no problem its not offset
Wow Matt?
@cm18cam Have you even seen one in real life ? The interior looks horrible in reviews, but when you actually sit and ride in one, it is very luxurious ... My aunt has a 2009 Mercedes-Benz C300 and it is beautiful inside and out.
